About the role
Weaviate has been really successful in enterprise, and we're doubling down on that by growing our enterprise-facing teams. That shifts what the product has to do. Large customers arrive with specific requirements, and someone has to decide which of those we build, in what order, and which ones we tell the customer we won't build.
What they're looking for
- You make prioritization decisions using evidence. When you say one feature should ship before another, you can clearly explain the business impact and tradeoffs behind that decision, and you're comfortable defending it
- You're senior enough to hold your ground. Priorities will get pulled in different directions by big opportunities, and part of your job is deciding when that's the right call and when to push back
- 8+ years in product management, including recent hands-on IC work. You've owned a roadmap yourself, not only through a team
- Experience with enterprise customers: discovery, requirements gathering, and expectation management with large accounts
- Track record of quantifying the business impact of roadmap decisions and defending prioritization to stakeholders who disagree
- Comfortable in a technically deep domain such as databases, data infrastructure, distributed systems, or developer tools. You don't need an engineering background, but you do need to hold your own with tech leads
